Procedure documentationChanging the CTS Status Switch

 

CTS status switches are used to control transport operations for a specific QGM scenario, such as creating, exporting, or importing transport requests. The switches are closed in QGM and are opened automatically only for operations that are triggered from QGM. After the operation has been completed, the switches are closed automatically again. This process ensures that users can change their system landscape only using the standard change control processes and tools.

CTS status switches are activated when a CTS project is generated for a QGM scenario with the following result:

  • A transport request cannot be created under the CTS project using the development workbench.

  • A transport request that is assigned to the CTS project cannot be released.

  • A transport request that is assigned to the CTS project cannot be imported into any system in the landscape that lies on the transport track.

Caution Caution

Use this procedure to change the CTS status switch only in exceptional cases, for example, if you want to bypass change control. This procedure is not intended to be used as a regular operation.

End of the caution.
